WHITE HALL GOLF

MISSION MOMENT: A GREAT DAY FOR GIVING, GOLF, AND GRATITUDE

The 2023 Annual Tee Off for Team BCPS Golf Classic was held at Greystone Golf Course on Friday, October 13, 2023. It was a great day for giving, golf, and gratitude. The weather was perfect, the 144 golfers were excited to enjoy the pristine golf course, and our sponsors were happy to support our programs, initiatives, and fundraising efforts. We are grateful to our Education Champions.

EARLY MORNING TEE TIME | RISE AND SHINE

With the dew on the greens and the sun peeking through the scenic landscape, golf bags were dropped off at the bag drop and participants were registering for a day filled with camaraderie and love of sport. Friendships were rekindled as many of our business and community partners returned to provide support for yet another year and new friendships were established as new partners joined in the fundraising event. Funds raised could not have been possible without the following Education Champions. We extend our thanks to each of the following:

From the committee members who worked months prior to the event with the foundation’s headquarters staff to the entire Greystone Golf Course staff, to the design and printing of materials, to the many volunteers who were behind the screens stuffing Swag Bags and designing Raffle Baskets, setting up and breaking down and transport, we extend to each of you our utmost appreciation and gratitude.

THANK YOU TO GREYSTONE GOLF COURSE:

Thank you to Golf Pro, Mr. Gary Schmalenberger, Food and Beverage Manager, Ms. Wendy Ayres, Director of Sales, Mr. John Hein, and the entire staff at Greystone Golf Course!

Greystone Golf Course was designed by Joe Lee, architect of Doral Resort’s famed Blue Monster and the courses at Walt Disney World. Greystone Golf Course is a true masterpiece in layout, challenge, and entertainment. This championship course includes 140 feet of elevation changes and features seven ponds and more than 80 bunkers. The tall hardwood trees, wetlands, and native vegetation add an abundance of character to the design.
